Chapter 617 Anti-Cruise Missile Noble Phantasm
Just when Chang Haonan was in Chengdu, he was busy preparing to upgrade the design of Project No. 10.
Qiong Province, Lingshui Airport.
An almost brand-new elongated IL-76MF transport aircraft appeared in mid-air outside the fence, aiming at the runway in a near-dive attitude to descend, and did not pull the nose until almost the last moment before touching the ground. Lift up and let the main landing gear hit the center of the runway accurately.
Soon, the plane slowly stopped at about two-thirds of the length of the runway.
Everything seemed normal.
But the captain Cheng Yunfeng in the cockpit still curled his lips, obviously not satisfied with his landing.
Compared with the classic clamshell thrust reverser on the old model D30KP2 engine, the grille thrust reverser of the new PS90A-76 engine is more efficient.
Pilots who are accustomed to the landing method of the Il-76TD in the past can easily misestimate the length of the runway required for landing.
Just like just now, the goal he set for himself was to park the plane in front of the taxiway entrance at the end of the runway.
Of course, Lingshui Airport has a long enough runway, so even if the touchdown position is not precise, there will be no problem.
But as a pilot of a military transport aircraft, you always have to make it more difficult for yourself.
What if there is a runway half destroyed by the war?
While reviewing the imperfect landing in his mind, Cheng Yunfeng flipped the switch and opened the air-tight hatch and tailgate at the rear of the aircraft.
The four-leaf tailgate opened up, down, left, and right at the same time. After a while, more than twenty people wearing uniform work clothes came out one after another.
Immediately afterwards, a flatbed trolley was pushed out along the springboard ramp.
A slender cylindrical object wrapped in red and white striped woven cloth is firmly fixed on it.
Originally, with such a small number of people and cargo, there was no need to use a transport aircraft as big as the IL-76 to perform the mission.
But with the arrival of a new batch of IL-76s in the second half of last year, the Air Force transport aviation also needs to adapt the newly modified pilots to the increasing number of strategic transport aircraft.
We have to fly anyway, so instead of flying empty, it is better to perform some tasks that are less difficult and easier to get started with.
Just think of it as training through competition.
Several transport and commuter vehicles quickly gathered on the runway at this time and began to carry other unloaded materials from the cabin.
At the same time, a higher-ranking officer got out of the passenger seat of a Cheetah off-road vehicle with a hard top and saluted the two leaders.
“Welcome comrades from the Electronic Technology Group!”
In the huge round of organizational adjustments in March this year, the original Ministry of Electronics Industry was abolished and reorganized together with the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications into Ministry of Information Industry.
The research institute of the former Ministry of Electronic Industry also followed the conglomerate restructuring of the military industry system and established the Electronic Technology Group several years earlier than the original timeline.
It can be regarded as one of the many influences brought by Chang Haonan.
The ones who just got off the transport plane were naturally the engineers from the 14th Institute of Electrical Engineering.
"You are Commander Tang, right? I have admired your name for a long time."
Neither Xu Yang nor Guo Lin, who led the team, were soldiers, so they could only shake hands with Tang Yiping in front of them.
After the end of the embankment operation last year, the latter, as a front-line commander who personally participated in flying aircraft, was naturally promoted and became deputy commander of the South China Sea Fleet Aviation Force.
However, because he is not old enough to be grounded, he is still stationed at Lingshui Airport and participates in aviation training as before.
At this time, Guo Lin quickly took over Xu Yang’s conversation to avoid an awkward silence:
“The mission you led last year brought back extremely valuable information to our electronic technology system. Valuable actual combat data is of great significance to the development of new new technology equipment in the future. Before coming this time, the leaders of our group specifically asked you to express our gratitude to you in person.”
Although there is no official support for the embankment construction operation. There is very little publicity, and it is even somewhat cryptic, but after all, Dianke Group is deeply involved in the equipment support work of the mission, so it still knows a lot of details.
As for this thank you... of course it's not entirely because of the reasons Guo Lin said.
In fact, what Dianke Group wants to thank more is the unsatisfactory performance of the Yun-8J warning aircraft in that mission.
At that time, there were even signs that the SouShui 2000MS radar was interfered by the British side's backdoor, which indirectly prompted the senior management to decide to build a self-developed early warning aircraft as a backup outside the ring project just in case, which is basically the current situation. The Air Police 200 project has entered the prototype production stage.
But it’s hard to talk about this kind of thing clearly, so we have to use a more high-sounding name.
"No, no, we should be thanking your comrades in the military industry system." Tang Yiping quickly waved his hand:
“Operation embankment building would be completely unimaginable without the several brand-new equipment you provided, especially the new electronic warfare aircraft.”
“From this perspective, That mission should be regarded as something we completed together. I was just lucky, so I got the obvious credit."
He said this out of true feelings.
After all, even from a personal point of view, if it were not for such an opportunity, then as the chief officer of an aviation unit in a non-key disadvantaged direction, it would be almost impossible for him to cross the border without hindrance as he does now. Cross the threshold between mid-level and senior military officers.
The entire 25th Regiment of the 9th Naval Aviation Division was awarded the honorary title of "Hong Kong Guards Regiment".
As long as we wait a few more years, when the incident can be fully disclosed, Tang Yiping's name can basically be put into the Naval Museum, or even the Revolutionary Military Museum...
It's settled After calming down, he continued:
"So, this time I heard from my superiors that you have new equipment that needs to be tested, so I hurriedly submitted the application on behalf of the old army, just to see what you have in advance. What new equipment have they come up with..."
Just when the three of them finished exchanging pleasantries and complimenting each other, and were about to get down to business, the equipment previously fixed on the flatbed truck happened to be torn off and removed from the construction site equipment. The almost earthy packaging reveals the true appearance underneath.
A pod apparently made of composite materials.
There is no difference in core hardware from the jammer previously tested at Daqiaochang Airport.
However, the algorithm has been further upgraded, allowing the jamming pod itself to resolve and forward the coordinate information sent by the GPS during high-speed movement.
The aerodynamic shape has been optimized so that it can be mounted by an aircraft. The scope of action is no longer a nearly infinitely high cylinder centered on itself, but can be used directionally towards the front of the aircraft.
Of course, it was built using another GPS receiver that was tested before.
In other words, there should be no third one in a short time.
“Is this it?”
The sharp-eyed Tang Yiping immediately saw this thing that looked like a small auxiliary fuel tank:
“Is it also an electronic warfare pod? ?”
In the past, such an inconspicuous device might not have attracted his attention, but since seeing the magical power of the JH-7, he has become interested in all cylindrical devices that can be hung on the aircraft. Equipment is held in a certain reverence.
"That's right, a pod specifically designed to interfere with satellite positioning equipment can cause all targets to receive incorrect positioning information within a range of about 20-25km."
Xu Yang turned around and took a look at what was going on. A pod being unloaded onto a light truck:
“It can target all GPS devices, but the main combat goal is expected to be to interfere with cruise missiles and the use of satellite-guided bombs, which can theoretically interfere with an area at the same time There is no limit to the quantity of all the ammunition in it.”
“Of course, in addition to being mounted on the aircraft, it can also be mounted on the vehicle, but in terms of testing, airborne testing is more difficult.”
< br>Since she started running outfield with Chang Haonan and participated in various project tests, she has become more and more like a normal person in the way she speaks.
Hearing such a function, Tang Yiping's eyes immediately lit up:
"So...do we need our pilots to prepare anything extra?"
Before being selected to carry out the embankment building operation last year, he As one of the first pilots to receive J-8C aircraft, he participated in low-altitude interception missions against simulated cruise missiles.
But in the end, it was discovered that with the configuration of mechanical scanning radar and semi-active radar bombs, each aircraft basically only had time to intercept two targets, which was very inefficient.
Considering that the number of ground-attack cruise missiles equipped on a powerful enemy cruiser may be more than the semi-active air-to-air missiles equipped by our army, the actual combat significance is really of little significance.
But with the equipment in front of us, it seems that the opponent's numerical advantage can be completely eliminated...
"As long as the low-altitude flight technology is passed, and the aircraft has a 1553B bus and a multi-function display, it will be fine."
< br>Xu Yang stepped forward, patted the shell of the pod, and then opened a small door on the side:
“When used on the ground, you can connect an external computer from here, and the technician will do it according to the requirements. It is actually necessary to write the coordinate translation algorithm on site. ”
“However, considering that this condition is not available on an airplane, I, and of course Chang Gong, set up 4 prefabricated algorithms in advance from the beginning. The pilot only needs to press the button to select the corresponding interference effect.”
Hearing her explanation, Tang Yiping finally felt relieved:
"Don't worry about this, my pilots are absolutely fine in low-altitude technology. When the time comes, you will be free to choose the 14 J-8C pilots from the 25th Regiment. ..."
